Anton Yelchin's Death Results in His Parents Suing Several Car Companies

Anton Yelchin died tragically back in June at just 27 years old. His body was found pinned between his 2015 Jeep Cherokee and the security gate at the bottom of his driveway and his cause of death was ruled "blunt traumatic asphyxia," most likely due to the car rolling his body into the entrance. Today, Anton's parents are aiming to get justice for their son.

TMZ reports the Yelchin family is working on suing any company who had anything to do with the vehicle that caused the actor's death. Fiat Chrysler (FCAM) and Autonation, the retailer where he is thought to have purchased the vehicle, will reportedly be put under a microscope.

FCAM issued a recall on Anton's car in April of this year, which included 1.1 million cars and SUVs. CNN reports the car owners never received an official recall statement, but a notice was sent around regarding the problems in May. Around the time of Anton's death, the car company announced that they were waiting on parts to issue repairs for the cars, and a class-action suit was filed by other owners of recalled vehicles. Though nothing will make up for their son's death, let's hope the family at least gets a proper trial.
